Review of The Last Metro

The acting was good, not only by the two main leads, but by the supporting cast as well. The atmosphere is also done well. Except... so why is the film named "The Last Metro?" Except for the voice-over explanation at the beginning of the film about Paris under occupation, curfews, and the last metro, etc. what was the significance of the last metro exactly for the plot of the film? And the two main characters, they fell in love? Really? When? How? There didn't seem to be anything between the two, until they had to say, actually say, that they were in love. Clearly, acting wasn't bringing it out... What's more confusing is that Mrs. Steiner seems in love, utterly in love, with her husband. Well, she is a rather "cold" woman, the implication being that she is repressing her feelings (which is supposed to make it OK later when she declares love for Gerard D.), but in her coldness scale she is very very warm to her husband, and her husband alone. And then she is in love with someone else?

Well, I think I missed something. All in all, I am glad I saw the film for the atmosphere and the acting, but I can't say that I got it.
